* we *need*:
  - linux [ms iis is bad]
  - apache [best choice with linux :)]
  - php [cms, phpbb, etc]
  - mysql [cms, phpbb, etc]
  - perl [twiki]
  - ftp

* we don't necessarily need:
  - virtual server with root access
  - command line login [ssh]
  - sub domain names [glob2.ysagoon.com]
  - email addresses [we have our own server for that]

putting heavy binary files on savannah is a possibility, but that's more 
maintenance work. because all stuff is then splitted between two 
servers. the administration and backup interface of the cms will for 
example not be able to manage the files that are on savannah, since you 
must put them manually on savannah, with another web interface.

i like very much the idea of putting the binary files on savannah, but i 
don't really know how to easily make a get/put files automatically 
there, without using their web interface. does anybody know if this 
could be automated??

by the way, thank you moa for the hosting wiki page, i've updated it:
http://www.ysagoon.com/twiki/bin/view/Glob2/HostingSolution

currently, I like very much nct's suggestion about icculus.org, it seems 
very cool to me (i'll try to contact them to see if our project matches 
their conditions, and to have more precisions). the other alternative i 
like is a swiss hosting called infomaniak.ch (more details on the wiki).
